Chat box added!
PostPosted:22 Jan 2017 16:23
After some consideration I have added a chat box to the bottom of the main front page of the forum on http://www.opaeula.co.uk , It ping's up and lists newly added topics as well as letting you chat away with other users and leave messages that can be read by others. Its for users that have signed up only so will be hidden to guests.
I had to think carefully about this extension because I fear it will have users posting questions on it instead of posting their questions on the actual forum for others to read and learn from so for this reason I don't want users to ask and answer questions in the chat because the history and messages eventually get deleted/purged and that wealth of information is lost. I understand it seems a bit petty but for the forum to grow we need users to post on it!
Enjoy!
